1991 (2019)

Crap cars. Seedy bars. And everyone struggling to do what’s right. 1991 follows precocious twelve-year-old Nicole as she seeks unforgettable adventure and bonds with her disaffected but loving father, all while travelling through the savage south. Told through projected shadows and cut-up photographs, 1991 is a live cinema performance that digs deep into a haunting culture of misogyny and shines a light on the resilience of youth.
